Danny of SearchEngineLand listed out some resources to help map out the california fires. I hope everyone is okay.
LA Times Interactive Fire Map: Built on Google Maps and from the Los Angeles Times, fire icons show each major fire, and you can click on the flames for more information about the incident. This is probably [...]
I just attended ST@B (Startups at Berkeley), an event that brings together the entrepreneurs at Berkeley. Everyone talks about startup’s coming out of Stanford, but hardly anyone mentions Cal.

Google and IBM have teamed up to provide data centers to help students and researchers write software for large-scale applications. This is a large push for colleges to emphasize the needs of parallel computing; it is a relatively new field not taught traditionally at the undergrad level. In addition, the number of computer science majors [...]
Buzz word “Web 3.0″ has gotten a lot of attention this week. Calacanis defines the term as “the creation of high-quality content and services produced by gifted individuals using Web 2.0 technology as an enabling platform.” Smith states it “will be a mobile web revolution.” Tim O’Reilly, the man who coined Web 2.0, comes in [...]
